Chapter 45: Escaping the Predicament

liner flying the flag of France slowed down and drifted on the waves, seemingly waiting for distinguished guests to arrive.After boarding the yacht, Lian Ri scanned his surroundings, looking at the we...Sun Wang was startled. A level five zombie was truly formidable. He grabbed his older sister's wrist and in an instant, they were gone from their original position.

And as the eagle's wings transformed the ice cones into water, his confidence soared. This proved that the purple eagle's plan was sound.

After exchanging a glance, the two of them, along with the twelve members of Black Hawk team, charged towards the level 5 zombie. As the only level 5 ability user, Wu Lianyi was responsible for holding it back, while the others were in charge of attacking.

A clash between superpowers and super zombies unfolded in the center of City C. Snowballs, ice shards, and icicles flew constantly towards the swarming superheroes, while the latter retaliated with fireballs, golden blades, earth spikes, and wood leaves. The scene was a dazzling display of color that momentarily blinded the Black Panther Squad rushing to provide support.

Wu Lianyi kept her gaze fixed on the Level 5 zombie's eyes, and after observing it, she found that when attacked, the Level 5 zombie would instinctively protect its eyes.

She immediately condensed two marble-sized thunderballs, mixed among the many attacks and fired them out, targeting the eyes of the level 5 zombie.

Because her presence was a threat to the level 5 zombies, they were wary and dodged before the attack reached them. At the same time, they waved their pale hands, and countless ice spikes shot towards where Wu Lianyi stood.

Wu Lianyi also quickly opened her Thunder Net, blocking the opponent's attack while simultaneously firing thunder needles, aiming for their eyes.

The zombies, like snakes whose tails had been stepped on, started attacking frantically, eager to swallow these pesky snacks whole.

At this time, snowflakes were falling from the sky one after another. In a moment, they covered up the traces of everyone fighting the zombies. Thanks to the wind and snow, level 5 zombies became even more like fish in water. They used the wind and snow as cover, injuring several team members.

Wu Lianyi's eyes grew colder and colder. She took out her Lei Yao from her spatial dimension, infused it with her Lei Xi energy, and then directly engaged in close combat with the level 5 zombie. She successfully held it off.

A fifth-level zombie saw its favorite food in front of it and immediately reached out to grab Wu Lianyi's head, as if something there attracted it.

With a clang, the opponent's claw caught on a sword. In the next instant, lightning surged through the blade and into his body, halting his movements for two seconds. His claws retracted, and his other hand lunged toward Wu Lianyi's chest, aiming for her heart.

This time, Wu Lianyi clenched her fist and faced the opponent's claws. Her fist, wrapped in lightning power, once again blocked the attack. This time, the opponent paused for three seconds. At the same time, a low voice from the walkie-talkie echoed:

Head down!

Wu Lianyi subconsciously lowered her head, and the next instant a heart-wrenching roar came from the zombie's mouth. The other party covered their eyes with one hand.

Wu Lianyi instantly condensed a thunderball, seizing the moment when her opponent was roaring. She shot it straight into his mouth before he could react and quickly retreated.

Eagle Wing at this time condensed a water snake, quickly wrapping around the fifth-level zombie's ankle. After being kicked apart by the opponent, it condensed again and wrapped around, just not letting the other party escape by taking advantage of the wind and snow.

As soon as the superhuman fighters saw an opportunity, they launched a continuous barrage of attacks on the zombies. Eagle Fang manipulated his wind-based ability, blowing away the snowflakes swirling around them. This prevented the Level 5 zombies from using ice and snow to confuse their vision.

Wu Lianyi once again condensed an electric net, attacking the opponent. The saber in her hand also continuously launched attacks, making it increasingly difficult for the injured Level 5 zombie to cope.

The fight reached a fever pitch. Eaglewing seized the opportunity and shot a water needle towards the zombie's other eye.

With a roar, the level five zombie fell to the ground this time. Sun Wang immediately teleported behind the level five zombie with Eagle Wing, "Buzz" - the sound of the crystal core gun starting up was unusually clear.

With a

“Bang!” sound, this time it was the fifth-level zombie's head exploding.

The zombie's body twitched twice, finally stiffening completely. Eaglewing then crouched down and took the white fifth-level crystal core.

"Let's go!"

At the hawk’s command, everyone retrieved their snowmobiles and rode back against the wind and snow to the farmhouse where they were staying.

Although the superhuman could withstand the cold, after experiencing a great battle and seeing their health bar drop, they also felt the biting chill. They rushed into the room and immediately huddled by the fire, even taking out their treasured liquor and pouring themselves a shot.

Although there were casualties in this battle, they managed to kill a level five zombie. This means that the fallen city C is no longer home to any high-level zombies capable of opposing them. The resources found in the city center are also enough to replenish their losses from this engagement.

Ying Yi and Wu Lianyi discussed it for a while. After they secured enough resources, they continued their journey, leaving the remaining resources to be handled by the Black Panther Squad. They also informed them that after the extreme cold lasted for a year, when the temperature rose, it would be the time for all the zombies to upgrade and return in full force, urging the Black Panther Squad to prepare in advance.

Because the Black Panther Captain was still seriously injured and unable to leave, they had to stay put for now. Besides, with the crisis resolved, a whole city's resources and nuclei were waiting for them. The entire team, having shed their previous dejected mood, started planning their next move.

Yingyi ultimately obtained the fifth-grade ice elemental core. It took three days to refine it, and then naturally advanced to the fifth level, able to turn water into ice and ice into water, and gained another attack ability.

Three days later, the group replenished their supplies and left the C city area. They also sent a message to the C city survivor base, urging them to arrange for psychics to eliminate the sleeping zombies as soon as possible.

Before, because there was that level 5 ice-attribute zombie, the C City base also suffered losses of many ability users. As the temperature continues to drop, the base's resources are also shrinking rapidly. To reduce food consumption, even eating one meal a day is becoming unsustainable. The base leader has gone gray with worry.

At this moment, the message he received was music to his ears. After confirming it several times, the base immediately issued a mission to return to the C city center to search for resources and arranged for the ability users to head towards the C city base despite the wind and snow.

A day later, with the return of supply vehicles, the C City base buzzed once more. Hunter teams were active again, venturing into the fallen city to scavenge resources and hunt zombies.

Five months later, the Eagle Wings group finally successfully returned to the W City Survivor Base. The base commander met with the Black Hawk Squad first and put the core defense shield into use at the base, then started upgrading the core guns.

The rest is to organize manpower to hunt zombies and regain control of W City before the zombies level up. While accumulating core crystals, prepare defenses for a year-long battle against zombies, mutated animals, and mutated plants.

One year later, the extreme cold began to fluctuate, gradually shifting into scorching heat. The corpses that had been frozen solid for a year started to show signs of thawing, their stiff joints loosening up. A new battle was about to commence.ntinent. But before that, it's best we gather some information about it. Don't just rush in blindly."Leia rode astride her silver steed, keeping pace with Ripple, as she spoke her suggestions."Well, y...
